Instruments: Piano
I'm a pianist, I've been playing playing the piano since I was 10 years old, currently 25 years old. A major highlight in my musical education was attending the high school for performing and visual arts in Houston Texas where I studied under Mr. Morales who shares my last name. I've performed with various chamber groups but I have spent my time mostly doing solo work. I consider myself primarily as a classical musician though I do enjoy various genres of music like jazz, and blues. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
It is important to me that a student both enjoys and learns from their lessons. I strive to make lessons well-rounded. While piano instruction is certainly central to each lesson, I also spend time teaching music theory and ear training. I typically use Alfred's Basic Piano Library method books to achieve this well-rounded approach. The ultimate goal I maintain with students is to see them become independent and proficient learners, as well as to see them making music as a regular part of their lives. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been in the top auditioned ensemble of NMSU for all 4 years and section leader for 2. I have been the president of NMSU Chapter American Choral Directors Association and president of NMSU Chapter National Association for Music Educators. I have also conducted and directed a children's choir for the past 2 years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar
I am currently working on an BM in Guitar Performance at the University of Texas at El Paso where I have been taking lessons from Hiram Rodriguez. I first started playing guitar 10 years ago learning rock songs and things of that nature and about 6 years ago I started learning classical guitar. I have taken lessons with John Siqueiros for a short time as well as a master student from the University of Texas at El Paso Edgar Camargo and I took some jazz lessons from Mr. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I believe that if one wants to become a piano virtuoso and master the classical piano, one must take the time to understand the joy and beauty of Classical Music in order to be able to transmit that beauty. I believe in acknowledging accomplishments, taking the time to practice and I also believe in challenging students to become better. Finding what composers inspires the students is very important because this makes them eager to learn. Read More

I had the opportunity to experience a wide range of styles as a soloist and as a member of many bands and ensembles: Classical, American Folk, mariachi, boleros, tangos--playing in many venues and contrasting scenarios around the U.S.A and foreing countries such as Mxico and Argentina. Istarted teaching private students piano,violin, guitar and composition since 2008; In 2013, in California, I founded a music program, providing musical education specially to underdeserved students.

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums
Whether beginner or a bit more advanced, I have always liked to return to the basic foundational knowledge and techniques that must be understood well in order to advance and have a good sound and a good technique. For beginners in piano, I like to find books that the individual feels comfortable with and that they completely understand what they are getting themselves into. Every person is different. For snare drum, I like to use a book called stick control which helps students develop mastery in the way they play from precision to striking the snare drum correctly and the way they overall develop their style of playing.

Instruments: Voice
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was first inspired by Mr. Lawrence Lohman, my high school choir director. He also taught voice classes, which made me excited to sing. He helped me conquer my fear of singing in front of a crowd, as well as helped me understand what works for my voice and what does not. I also had the inspiration from David Leighton, who further guided me with the technique that I first learned from Mr. Lohman. What I loved about David's teaching was how passionate he was for every aria he provided me. His knowledge about the background of the piece was fascinating to me, and made me even more thrilled to sing the piece. Another incredible inspiration was Franco Bertacci. Hearing his voice and seeing how easy it can be to teach was empowering to me. He made me feel I could sing at my full potential in the simplest way. I have studied his techniques and have provided it into my own teaching.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I feel when it comes to practicing, it is important to sing/hear the exercises in the correct way, as well as the incorrect way. This will help the student understand how the sound should feel in their voice, as well as in their body. They will notice right away if something does not feel right, whether it is tension somewhere on the mouth, an uncomfortable segment change, or there is a lack of energy. It is also important to practice effectively in order to keep the voice progressing. It is easy to forget to practice or to not care for it, but making time for yourself to warm up will make the voice feel incredible when it is time to sing songs.
When will I start to see results?
Usually, students will start to notice results in the first lesson. They can feel the difference in the voice right away when trying out new techniques. For long term results and a full expansion of the voice, this will take years to develop. However, as long as the practice is maintained and the passion is there, the results will continuously happen. This style of teaching is great for consistent progress and comfort in the voice. Often times, a student will not hear the progress the way the teacher does. I will always let the student know if I hear a change in the voice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I feel any child is ready for lessons once their interest for an instrument has piqued. A great way to encourage your child for lessons is to have them watch videos of their favorite musician. Your child can watch the musician's hand play an instrument, watch them sing in a microphone, or they can hear a song that makes them want to play/sing just like them! Another way to help your child be prepared is having them find a song they want to work on. If they have a favorite song, it can encourage them to want to improve the song and give them ideas for making it sound the way they want it to be!
